On December 14, 2012, the Collier Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) approved a Resolution deeming it in the best interest of the public health, safety and welfare of Collier County to have the BCC continue in its role as the CTC. The MPO staff then submitted both executed resolutions to the Florida Commission for the Transportation Disadvantaged (CTD). Recently the CTD provided a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) for approval to designate the BCC as the Collier Community Transportation Coordinator from July 1, 2013 to June 30, 2018. n Staff is recommending that the BCC authorizes its chairwoman to sign the attached Memorandum of Agreement.

LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been reviewed by the County Attorney, is approved as to form and legality, and requires majority vote for approval. -JAK GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: Consistent with Objectives 10 and 12 of the Transportation Element of the Growth Management Plan.
